Best Books I've Read In 2017 So Far #TopTenTuesday

This is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week, they post a new Top Ten list that one of their bloggers will answer. Everyone is welcome to join!

Today's list is:

Best Books I've Read In 2017 So Far (not necessarily published in 2017, though a few of these are)The Book of Ivyby Amy Engel(The Book of Ivy, Book #1)

When this book was released in late 2014, that's about the time that I went on a blogging hiatus. I don't recall hearing any hype about this book, which is surprising because it's FANTASTIC! I think it is underrated!!

I really need to get caught up on this series. This one was my favourite so far.

Halfway to the Graveby Jeaniene Frost(Night Huntress, Book #1)This series has been on my TBR for so long! I finally started it, and this first in the series blew me away! I loved it!!

Distress Signalsby Catherine Ryan HowardI've been reading so many great mysteries this year. This one is definitely a favourite!

The Wizard of Ozby L. Frank Baum(Oz, Book #1)I read this one aloud to my younger daughter. It was a re-read for me, but I haven't read it since I was my daughter's age. I still love it!

A Promise of Fireby Amanda Bouchet(Kingmaker Chronicles, Book #1)This debut was amazing! The world-building was excellent, the heroine was kick-ass, and the chemistry between the MC and the Alpha was hot!

The Kite Runnerby Khaled HosseiniThis one moved me to tears! It's gut-wrenching and incredible. A tough read, but the author is brilliant!

Paxby Sara PennypackerWhen you read this book, you will see why it was nominated for the 2016 National Book Award for Young People's Literature. If you are an animal lover and enjoy stories between a child and their furry friend, I recommend it. You are going to need, Kleenex!

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacksby Rebecca SklootThis one has been on my TBR for years. With the movie being released this year, I finally got on it. Skloot is an incredible investigative journalist. This non-fiction biography reads like fiction. It's very educational, and it revealed to me the medical experimentation done on African-Americans that I wasn't aware of. Highly recommended!

The Woman in Cabin 10by Ruth WareThis was my first book of the year, and I predicted that it would be among my favourites of 2017 and it still is! I couldn't turn the pages fast enough, and it was tough to put down!

So, what books have been your favourites of 2017 so far? Please let me know in the comments, or leave me a link to your blog post if you are also participating in the meme!

I love the Mercy Thompson and Night Huntress books! Both series keep up a great standard so you have lots of booky fun to come! I read The Kite Runner when it first came out and I cried several times during it. Very moving and well written.
